Where’s there winter, there’s snow. We shovel it, play in it, hope it arrives on December 24. We love it, until we have too much of it. Then, we want it to melt.

Wednesday was another visit with my parents. Mom continued with her inquisition, focusing again on my deceased wife intermixed with adament statements about how she was not my mother. We vacillated between being siblings and being distant relatives.
I tried a new track and asked them both what they wanted for Christmas. Dad didn’t answer. He barely lifted his head. Mom paused for only a second before...

I’m looking forward to the Progressive Blog Party this year, especially after days like today.
Mom and Dad seemed to push all of my emotional buttons today during my visit with them. Dad is increasingly tired and now having trouble just sitting up. He speaks when spoken to but when he opens his eyes there is no sense of recognition. When asked who I am, he just stares blankly. He hasn’t spoken...

XXXXXXX

November 22 is your day to show your appreciation for the family caregiver in your life. And, it’s easy–all you have to do is give him or her a kiss!
But November...
You sit expectantly by the window in your living room, watching for the blue van that brings your daughter and her family for their visit. Although the holidays are hectic, this is the part of the season you relish: The opportunity to see those family members and friends who rarely drop by anymore.
